The following invocation works for most YouTube videos:

python youtube-dl.py <video_id>

This somehow fails for certain IDs such as:

$ python youtube-dl.py PLtS2H6bU1M
[youtube] PL tS2H6bU1M: Downloading page #1

From some testing, it seems to affect video IDs starting with "PL". To download these videos, I need to call the script as follows:

python youtube-dl.py http://youtu.be/<PL-video_id_here>

The youtube playlist extractor matched those IDs as well by accident. Fixed in git, and will be in the next release. Thank you for reporting!
